Minecraft Mod Developer Pack

Create MinecraftForge Mods using Java inside Visual Studio IDE

Prerequisites:

• Visual Studio (2013 Update 4 or 2015 RC or newer)
• Java SE Development Kit (JDK) for Windows x64 (please make sure you download thex64 version)

Getting started:

Install the extension and you will have access to three new templates to create MinecraftForge mods: one for Minecraft 1.8, one for Minecraft 1.7.10 and one sample mod called Mekanism.

MinecraftForge Templates

After creating any of these projects, a provisioning build will start that will take between 5 and 30 minutes that will download all package dependencies.

Once the provisioning build completes, IntelliSense and browsing operations on your Java files will be activated as well as building and debugging your code.

IntelliSense support: error squiggles, member list and quick info

IntelliSense support: Parameter help

Browsing support: Go to definition

Debugging support (via Sam Harwell's Java extension)
